Thought I would try sending a picture, this is my first attempt.
I have looked in the 'help' section for advice and failed to find any.
If what I try to do fails will some kind soul send ,or point me in the right direction;

Obviously failed..... HEeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!

- can't say what to do if we don't know what you're doing!!
But - why not 'preview' everything, and then you'll know if it's going to work?? And save space. = Tim

Hi,
The images must be linked to another place on the web - I see you have linked to your own computer.
You can place them on your own web site, then show them on here.
Just enclose the address of the web site with [ img ] [ /img ] - without the spaces.
Cheers
Dan

Hello garderner
Having had a look at the img link you posted, you're trying to link from your own pc, and that won't work....
You need to have your photo online already, so maybe go to www.hpphoto.com, click where it says "join hp photo" - upload your pics to an album from your pc
When you've done that, select the pic you want to post by ticking the select box in the album, then under photo tools, select "create link for auction". Click the Highlight Text button and copy the text.
Come back to A4A, then inside your post type <IMG> then paste the photo ref ie http://www.hpphoto.com/sessions/385511620334/32048575lg.jpg then type </IMG>
Then preview and post
That should do it....
Good luck :-*

I guessed it was something like that so I thought I would have another go, seems OK in the preview
This is one side of my back garden last summer.
Thanks for the e-mail DI

Whoops, sorry, still can't see them!

Oh dear what went wrong there. You seemed to have it fine before, now it doesnt work.
Strange. Perhaps without realising it you did something different to before.
-
I found the tricky bit was after creating your album on net was to use the share album button and key in this web main page.
Then go back to photo click on thumbnail open it and right click to find properties copy the hpp web link and put it in a reply here between [ img ] paste it here without spaces [ /img ] keep going I got there in the end
-
I am confused,
The pictures are OK on my PC
I have copied my pictures to Yahoo to get my web link
Right clicked on it/them to get 'location' copied location.
Opened up a4a clicked on insert image icon, then inserted picture location thus..... []location[]
And as I say it is all OK at my end. ????????
-
Hi in Yahoo do you have a share album button if so click on that and key in the hpp web page for here.
http://www.allotments4all.co.uk
good luck
-
I really suggest that you put your pictures on Hpphoto. I have tried a few times to get stuff off Yahoo on to here and the only time I succeded the shot was so small as to be useless.
Also never had any success with the Add an Image icon either.
Other difficulty is typing exactly what you need to type tells the site to do it which of course means that YOU cannot see what to type., if you see what I mean.
If you right click on the image in Yahoo and copy the URL (Control + C) then come here and type without any spaces anywhere [ img ]Control + V [ /img ] And preview. Do not write Control + V, but that is of course teaching my grandmother to suck eggs.
If you do got to Hpphoto give a shout if you need any more pointers. Fun int it?
-
Got to agree with Eric......create an album in HPPHOTO.........such a faff I know!! ::) ...........but well worth it ....then hopefully probs solved !! ;D...worked for me first attempt , all due to the kind advice from folk here!!
Good kuck ...once more 'Gardener' !!

And the bit I liked to sit back and enjoy;
(http://www.hpphoto.com/sessions/630981622725/32143901lg.jpg)
Hopefully this works;
-
Worth waiting for?
And if it works on preview, it works?? = Tim
-
Now that I seem to have succeeded here are the first pictures I sent..............I am unsure if they came through first time round...if they did then I am sorry for the repeat;
This is one side of my back garden;

(http://www.hpphoto.com/sessions/448311622725/32144680lg.jpg)
I don't think the quality at HP is as good as yahoo...........but at least it works.
-
Nothing sucks seeds like a toothless parrot. Well done. No stopping you now.
-
Lucky lot! Wish I could see the piccies too!
Kate
-
You sure are !!! :(
Cant see a thing, all I get is the annoying white box with the red cross. Nothing!!
Strange how some people can get these things and others cant. Thoght at first it was my ISP (AOL), so i tried going into Internet Explorer instead. Still nothing.
Shame.
-
Boxes with crosses here too! Boo Hoo!!! :'( :'( :'(
-
I'm soo glad its not just me!!
I was begining to doubt my abilities,
......... do keep trying and I will too............
-
yup - nout for me to see either :'(
-
Well I'm sorry folks! can't understand why some of you are getting the pictures and others are not????
I have sent the pictures from two different sources and in both, they preview OK on my PC.
Similarly I can see them here on the forum from both sources???
Over to the experts among you for advice.
-
I used this to get photos sent from album over here
http://www.allotments4all.co.uk
dont know if this helps otherwise its help Dan or Eric
-
Gardener, if you go to page 3 of the gallery, there is a posting titled Photographs that I think it was Tim, did, it is blow by blow instructions on how to get photos on here. You have to remember to put your photos into the Auction area in hppoto, then copy the link. Oh and HAVE to remember to put that into [ img] (no gap tho between the [ & i, have to do it that way here or I get the red cross too!))
at the front, then finish it with [/img] when you are posting it here. Hope this helps! DP
-
- the stupid thing is that the pics were there yesterday - and now nothing!! = Tim
-
Progress report;
I have followed all the instructions given by all those who gave me them.
As I said I can pick the pictures up from both sources as I said, i.e. Yahoo & HPphoto.
Now Tim tells us one day he has them and the next he hasn't.......the mind boggles ???
Now then I am going to hazard a guess;...........I have recently upgraded to Windows XP and I have had numerous problems to resolve on my PC....what do you others have?
Windows 2000 ?
Windows 98 ?
Windows 95 ?
Macs etc.
Could the operating systems be the problem?
Lets have a poll those than CAN receive indicate system and those that CAN't do likewise and lets see if there is any corralation.
-
2000
BTW - the other day I got the red crosses, so re-entered the URL and it worked!! = Tim
-
Hi I have windows ME with XP office I have no problem, hubby has a brand new Windows XP built for him major problems it crashes on him.
I had problems getting photos here, using epson albums simple to look at did not realise had to open photo then right click go to properties and copy the hpp link to put between the (http://) here, but before that had to click the share albums and key in this site address.
Try again if you see it in preview it should be on site then hit save
-
Well, I've got Windows XP Professional and still can't see your piccies! Not sure I like this package too much. Lots of things I can't access that I used to be able to!
Kate
-
Well.......Gardener......viewed them ALL yesterday ( beautiful Chrysanths !! )...but nothing today!
Using Windows XP.
We've had similar problems before with pics appearing for a day ......then disappearing for a while....think maybe it's just this site that is temperamental......and need Dan the Man to fix it !! ???
-
Happened to me early on. Only other thing is if you have changed the Album in which your photos are stored on Hpphoto. I accidently deleted one and of course all the addresses were then wrong even when I re-created the Album. It is very frustrating is it not, And the pics were so good too.
-
This is HIGHLY peculiar. I operate Win XP Home, and most of the time have no problems viewing pictures on this site, and since getting the hang of posting photos here have had no problems with my own pics.
Then just occasionaly like with 'The Gardener's' pics I get the red X instead of the pictures.
A little tip with adding the URL of the photos. Copy URL from HP or wherever as normal, but before 'pasting' here, click the 'add image' button in the editing tools. The tags will appear automaticaly. Then put the cursor betwen the tags with the mouse, and THEN paste the URL. This way no mistake can be made with the html tags.

the above was put between (http://)
http://www.epsonphoto.co.uk/album.action?displayMode=thumbnailView&albumId=924&albumSorter=name&assetSortOrder=name
these were just pasted without are you trying to send an album?
like this lets see if this works?
-
All this is very good for the morale - I am NOT the only deprived person on the board? Keep it going!! = Tim
-
I've never used the hp thing, but ...
I looks as though photos which are shown have this in them
/servlet/LinkPhoto?
while ones that don't work, well don't !
This may be relevant - I don't know.
-
If you use the "create auction link" on hpphoto, it adds an aspect to the link which bypasses the login on the site which is the servlet...
Trouble is, each different free photo posting site will be different due to where the photo is stored, how the photo is accessed etc etc.
The positive thing is this is all a d**n sight easier than trying to upload stuff to your own site using an FTP uploader....
I reckon = Go with hpphoto and use the Create auction link, is easiest imho....
